The plan OF appointing Federal Judges
for "during good behavior" has SO
many admirable recommendations that
letting well enough alone is apparently
the rule to apply to it. But with the
growth of this Republic the question of a
judiciary movable with the progress of the
public mind on great questions is becom-
ing every year more pressing. For now
just one hundred years-since 1887 when
it took defined partizan shape-there has
been struggle between two great
thoughts in the American mind, centrali-
cation and States-rights, or under their
original names loose construction and
strict construction, and as the minds of
those who construed the laws were
dominated by one or the other of these
ideas SO went the execution of the behests
of the constitution. For the last twenty.
six years, during which great events and
even greater changes consequent upon
them have taken place, the whole judiciary
of the United States has been of one
political party, or so nearly so that the
exceptions are political curiosities. OF
the nine Judges Of the Supreme Court OF
the United State, but one, Fields, is a
Democrat, and he turned Democrat after
his appointment by President Lincoln as
a Republican. OF the nine Circuit Judges
all are Republicans, and of the fifty eight
District Judges all save four are Repub
lieans. The only Democratic District
Judges are r. r. Nelson, of Minnesota
and Mathew P. Deadly, of Oregon, appoint.
ed by President Buchanan; James Nj
Love. of Iowa, appointed by President
Pierce, and Ogden Hoffman, of California
appointed by President Fillmore. This
would not seem very hopeful outlook
for the State-rights idea to obtain a
hearing in the Federal courts until age
infrmity Or death shall make natures
changes. In the District courts two
vacancies have just occurred by the death
of two Democratic Judges appointed by
President Pierce-Judge Samuel Treat, OF
st. Louis, and Judge Samuel II. Treat, OF
Springfield, Illinois-and in the Supreme
court five of the nine Judges are past
sixty-seven years of age, one of them being
in his seventy-ffth year; but Age anG
Death have tremendous majority still tt
overcome.

Of the agricultural journals that come
to this Office, the ''Farm and Home" of
Ere dericksburg appears TO us to be worth
them all in the matter of attending to
Virgtnia's interests. No part of the State
escapes its notice nor, the special oppor-
tunities in reach of the locality. In re-
cent number on raising heavy draft hor-
ses in the Valley of Virginia it thus con-
cludes:
Why not produce and sell annually five
thousand horses from Augusta, Rocking
ham, Shenandoah and Frederick counties? 1t
would put $780, 900 more in circulation in
those four counties and from one branch of
industry alone. Is it not worth trying! 1t
can easily be done. Then why not?
Writing on the same subject Randolph
Harrison, the Virginia Commissioner Of
Agriculture, in urging diversity of
industry upon the farms of the State says
Here is an opening for profitable farming
that has been strangely neglected by our peo-
pie, except in a portion of the Valley. The
skillful breeder of large coach horses, for in
stance, would have sure market at high
prices for all the fine animals he could raise,
AS IN breeding cattle, sheep, hogs, bees, and
in every other industry. there is requisite for
success CARE close attention and watchful-
ness, SO it must be in breeding horses; and the
prize held out to the successful breeder is a
rich one. handsome pair of matched hor-
SEES is readily sold in New York at from 5000
up, according to action, style, &c. 1t seems
to be not possible to overstock the market
with good horses. There is never-failing
demand in Europe for horses-coach, cavalry,
understand they can be exported at mode
rate cost and risk.
When we remember that Augusta county
has more imported Percheron and ClYdes.
dale stations than all the other counties
of Virginia combined, it is apparent that
here these practical suggestions should
find the largest number of followers.

The people of Virginia wish the credi-
tors settled with at sum that can be
paid without increased taxation now or
hereafter, coupons or no coupons. But
in arriving at the amount the State will
be able to pay, both commissions must
bear IN mind the fact that between 1870
and 1880 the taxable values of Virginia
decreased $56. 1884, 1872. In Augusta county
alone the taxable values decreased between
those years the startling amount of So
949.660, and her next door neighbor,
Rockingham, decreased So, 31s 500. Both
sides should let these figures make them
careful in estimating the ability of the
State for the future payments.

FERNANDINA, FLA, April 18.-Since
writing the above, a telegram from Mr.. J.
W. Morrison informs me of the death Of
his daughter on Saturday. the 10th. This
intelligence will carry sadness to the
hearts OF many in Staunton where Mrs.
Fries was so much beloved on account of
her many amiable qualities and where SO
lately as happy bride she received the
congratulations and adieus of her friends
on leaving for her southern home.
She fingered in great weakness for sew
eral days before her death as burning
fever combined with pneumonia consumed
her vital forces, and before the last hour
had come, she called her husband, parents,
and brother around her and gave them
parting messages of love as she peacefully
and calmly contemplated the near ap-
proach of death, which had no terrors for
her. She died as she had lived, beloved by
all around her, as was evinced by the SYM
pathy shown in many ways by hosts of
friends in Jacksonville. She will be
buried this afternoon. T. c.. M.
